Micro-Phonies (1945)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Moe, Larry and Curly are at a radio station causing damage when Curly, looking like a woman, is mistaken for an Opera singer and invited to a party. Once at the party the Stooges must try and fool the crowd but there's a pompous singer (Gino Corrado) already there who plans on wrecking their plan.
MICRO-PHONIES is a decent short but I certainly didn't find it to be one of the best of the series. Reading a variety of reviews I must say that I'm a little shocked that this one is loved by so many with a lot of people even calling it the Stooges best film. I thought there were a couple funny moments but there's really nothing here that we haven't already seen and in better films. The entire opening of the boy's whacking each other around was okay but that's about it. The Curly-in-drag had a few fine gags but I wouldn't call any of them hilarious. This is a decent short but that's about it.
